Underworld Producer Tom Rosenberg Talks New Title for Underworld 2

underworld_alt.jpgFound this Tom Rosenberg quote via the good folks at FilmRot.Com:

“I think the real intense followers of the whole saga will really, really love the second one. It‚Äôs very intricate. It gives Selene‚Äôs history, Viktor‚Äôs history and then of course now Marcus is going to come out of the crypt. So it‚Äôs really cool. I‚Äôm excited about it. It‚Äôs much bigger action but still, we have to keep the coolness of it and not let the action overwhelm it. I like the whole world that‚Äôs created and you have to stay within that world. I don‚Äôt want to jam mindless nonstop action at the audience and this is going to still be story driven. But we‚Äôre going to have cool sequences and some bigger action, but if you do that on a sequel, and that‚Äôs what often happens, what‚Äôs the point? This story is better. This story is more intricate and more interesting. That‚Äôs what I really like about it”.

As I mentioned back in September of 2003, Underworld was a bit of a let down for me… but… there was enough there in that world that would interest me in a sequel. I like what I’m hearing from Rosenberg so far. The problems with Underworld weren’t the story, or the concept or even the characters. The problem with that film (in retrospect) was the execution. It could have been a better film. I SHOULD have been a better film. I’m curious to see if they can take all the great potential they have in place and generate something kinda special with it.
